Click bait again 😂 how is the most basic and universal way of cleaning clubs, some sort of unique secret hack. Desperate content or what

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Hi Alex, a great tip. Maybe I’m a bit OTT, however I clean mine after each round. The biggest tip I can give (I have a chemical engineering degree) is to use a PH neutral detergent. Standard dishwasher/laundry detergents are very alkaline (and will destroy the glue that holds everything in place) so the best substitute would be something marked as wool friendly (pH neutral) and a temp somewhere around 60’C. Soak for 5 minutes and do exactly the same as you have. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Really good tips here pal thank you!

[@kennymay9036]

after every use,the three Ts; Toothbrush / Towel / Time.And remember to put her toothbrush back after using.

[@longbowken]

Alex, you definitely must be a bachelor! Haha. Wife would skin me if I cleaned my clubs in the kitchen sink! Keeping your clubs clean is an absolute must!

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed... must be obeyed!

[@ristoaksila5677]

In Canberra, summer is so hot I completely soak the towel twice per round. Only problem is other players will start using my towel to clean their clubs. Then I have a dirty towel. Try to tell them to wet their own. Haa! They shouldn't even be using others golf equipment during a round.

[@waynefollenius4417]

Ping G400's = Ping states NOT to use a metallic brush.

[@UnfilteredGolfer]

Great vid but i would never put the driver in hot water.the pressure change from the air inside can cause a vacuum to be created and denting the head or worse,the face.today's woods have thinner and thinner faces,crowns etc,its not difficult.

[@ewenreynolds]

I have wasted seven and a half minutes of my life

[@butchcase6351]

Really shouldn't use boiling hot water as heat can loosen the epoxy that holds the clubhead to the shaft. Have had heat from the sun loosen putterheads and grips here in Texas. So warm water is best with a touch of Dawn dish soap( 4 or 5 drops will do), Wipe grips with Zippo lighter fluid for restoring tackiness to grips and use with old teeshirt for polishing ferrules.

[@kevinlock7108]

Before every round I do that and one every shot wipe the head. If there dirt in the grooves I brush them out straight away. It takes seconds.

[@stevefacey3033]

I don’t use washing up liquid, it’s got salt in it. I use car shampoo, no salt no rust.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Ahhhh I didn’t realise that thank you for the information

[@jonnyaraujo3174]

I always have a wet and a dry rag! Clean my clubs after every shot before I put it back in the bag!

[@GolfbloggerCom]

Not sure about the boiling water. It could deteriorate the epoxy bond.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Let it stand for 5 mins 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@donalddishman3175]

Nice tip. I clean my clubs after every round to keep them them looking good.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes I have to say this is good. Do you clean your grips often?

[@donalddishman3175]

@@AlexElliottGolf yes I do. I at least wipe them off real good till no more dirt shows on the towel. I do this every time I clean the clubs.

[@jasonb1422]

Great video Alex! I've got a Grooveit brush I keep on my bag to clean them during my rounds and on the practice tee. I absolutely love it. Your tip on using the soft bristles on the grips is something I haven't tried, but will give it a go.

[@mariad750]

I passed through the video quickly, what is the hack? Cleaning the club?

[@blueplanet4339]

Do NOT put your clubs in hot water and leave them there for 5 minutes. The glue in you hosel can be damaged and you could have your club head fly off. I’ve seen it happen to a tour pro.

[@dougmorris5625]

Boiling hot water may damage the glue which holds the club head to the shaft. Use warm, not hot water.

[@allahalibaba9063]

Good review: I clean my clubs after ever shot whether I am on the course or on the practice range...Then I can't blame the clubs for soft or miss hits....Dish soap works good with warm water on grips the brush......Thanks..

[@tonythaiger93]

Spit and metal brush during my round 😅😅😅😅

[@ScottySouthside]

As a ginger, I have to wear a lot of sunscreen and it ends up on my grips. I try to wipe them off and keep them clean during a round but have a cleaning spray I use to really get them clean. Unfortunately I procrastinate a lot and usually remember I didn't clean them on the first tee of my next round

[@chrissellings]

😂😂

[@tjmeyer3037]

Everyone has decided iron covers are uncool but I take the iron covers off and throw the ones I use in a small cloth bag I carry. That way when I get home it's much nicer only having a few clubs to clean. The problem with the really hot water or leaving you clubs in a hot vehicle is the heat will, at very least, break loose any hot melt,and at worst, weaken the epoxy holding your club together. Cheers and enjoy!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

good thinking here ! thank you

[@Steve9595-h]

I use a bucket in the garage. Wife would have a bird if I used the kitchen sink 🤣

[@uluachubbs9132]

Informative video, Alex. I learned from a friend who used to caddie to have a large enough towel where it is wet, but not dripping. Then use only one end of the towel for wiping down the grips, and use the other end for clubheads and balls.

[@sap1374]

Learnt from an early stage in my golfing journey to clean my clubs. Agree with all you've said. Hope you kitchen blind was ok😂👏👏

[@AlexElliottGolf]

😂😂

[@deanmatthowes]

each club cleaned after every use on course, then all clubs cleaned this way when I get home, grips cleaned every few rounds or so depending on the weather. great video, cheers Alex Merry Christmas.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Good idea! And you too, hope you’ve had a good one

[@royclose946]

I use an old tooth brush lol 😆 well done alex 👏 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahaha make sure it’s an old one 😂😂😂

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video on club cleaning Alex! During a round of golf, I always make sure the face of the irons (especially the grooves) are clean before each shot. I actually remove any debris from the club after each shot. When I get home, I go into my garage and clean each club and grip. I use a glass cleaner type bottle with a sprayer with either a water or cleaning solution. I spray this on the head and use an old toothbrush to brush down. I then towel down, as you do.

[@jayschwarz4365]

You inspired me to clean both my clubs and my car (the golf bag and electric trolley tend to create a mess). Your video left out one critical, vital step! It is extremely important to make sure your wife is out of the house before you start clanking your sticks around in the kitchen sink!!! 😂😂😂

[@AlexElliottGolf]

😂😂😂

[@brianburgess5909]

Quit yakking and start cleaning.

[@andrewyou5484]

what surprises me the most is how many people use chemicals/soap to wash there clubs, i just use cold water and an old toothbrush works mint and just towel dry after cleaning

[@AlexElliottGolf]

yeah good point to be fair andrew

[@ericgrant1383]

Another great tip Alex. I tend to use WS40 when cleaning as it leaves a slight protective layer on Club face.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

good idea !!

[@gunnarjinx]

Since forever i've cleaned my club after each shot .... even before a shot IF my practice shot got some ground on it ... they look new constantly ;))))

[@sebmarc]

Not very complicated for clean club. You hit, you clean, you hit, you clean !!! Simple

[@michaelsingh843]

Million dollar tip, use a bucket outside!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

haha yes definitely a good shout

[@paulbroadbent9414]

Good guidance. I would strongly suggest warm water, rather than boiling as this is likely to change the properties of the glue, likely contributing in early life failure of the clubs…

[@easyswing007]

First like how did that happen. Bought one of those groove sharpeners you posted on your videos, still waiting for it from China might arrive by March.

[@markrobinson3060]

I do it pretty much same way but in a bucket in garage saves cleaning kitchen after

[@carlosmartins8771]

if you dry your grips with a terricloth towel , the fibers of the towel will stick to the grip and make the grip much tackier

[@ljd2578]

Here is a great tip…. After each shot use a little spit and you towel to help keep the grooves clean throughout your round!! This way they are always clean and ready!!

[@peterjohnson350]

Like most comments I wipe my clubs after every shot and clean them properly when I get home. I use washing up liquid on both the heads and the grips. Rain water is brilliant for softening the grips as it is very slightly acidic.

[@justinryan2064]

Even a boxing day video! Sensational Alex, hope you had a great Christmas mate look forward to your 2022 stuff.

[@richiemattes5333]

I use a spray car wax on the top and bottom of my driver not on the club face and up the shaft. It keeps it looking brand new.

[@MaxQ2989]

Nice vid Alex! Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day too! Had to chuckle at dipping the towel before playing (good idea that) but here in New Mexico with 12-15% humidity (often) your towel is dry by number two green!! I carry a bottle of water to redampen.

[@peterdeasy8176]

I lean my clubs every 2 rounds and the grips every4 to 5 rounds.

[@ericgrant6589]

Hi Alex - Golf Balls - Most amateurs play with the same ball for a number of rounds and at this time of year they get very dirty. Tip - at the end of the round drop the ball/s into a bucket of warm water and some bio-soap powder - leave overnight -in morning rinse with clean water - dry - ball/s like new.

[@ashleymillette9622]

I’m gonna do this every time after my rounds in Y2022……Thanks for the Tip

[@michaelackley1560]

Do not use metal bristle side. Metal brush will damage grooves and dull edges with time.

[@andy66l97]

& cheers for all the great content in 2021👍, all the very best for 2022💪

[@zenrun2913]

I use a $2 nylon grout brush for both clubs and grips.

[@trevorbrown830]

Great simple trick made easy. Thank you Alex. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@roberthind3394]

What was the hack ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Cleaning the clubs in the way I did :D

[@jaymciver9591]

You mentioned you have the Arccos club senses on your clubs. Each sensor weighs 8 grams. Do you use lead tape to get your swing weight back to what it should be? I noticed your driver had lead tape on it. Is this why?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

yeah that is right

[@Big-Crow]

Flag in the front.. clean grooves Flag in the back.. leave em dirty

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahaha 🤣 just dirty before hitting the shot 🤣🤣

[@russelclark7687]

Great confirmation and information

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I hope this helps

[@russelclark7687]

@AlexElliottGolf Winter is trying trying to show up here in Indiana. I got to play twice last week. Inside today, so. I figured it was a good time to clean the clubs and the bag a bit. I didn't want them to sit dirty very long!a good scrubbing and some oolish to smooth and slick them up! Might as well protect them from rubbing on the bag also - right.

[@jeffnahass8373]

Keeping clubs clean ads life. Especially grips. The driver is the prima dona of clubs.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes the grips is the key one!!

[@retired8123]

My girlfriend said I may be in a bit of trouble if she comes home to my dirty clubs in the sink(haha)... I use a big pail in the garage !!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

😂😂

[@martinhardman9288]

If you cut your clubs in half they fit in the dishwasher. And the dustbin. Nice kitchen. Can I have a banana? 😀

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Bahahaha someone needs to make a club cleaner like that 😂😂😂

[@mikeslattery7176]

Hi alex its best to keep the water just under the hozels to prevent water penetration getting into the shafts and by the way where are your marigolds ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah true

[@leonaway]

Pretty close to the way i clean my clubs. I actually use a dishwashing brush. Its just a handle with a scrub type pad on the bottom and the handle fills with soap. Works really well. I read once that you should never use the wire brush on any of your clubs…maybe they only meant drivers like you mentioned. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah I have found that it works really well a wire brush!

[@mikewilliams1479]

Hi Alex. Nice video, do you have any tips for making an old dusty golf bag looks really good again?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

i don’t … they need a good scrub with the pink stuff

[@_dboy_]

I used to bring them in the kitchen after every round. Now I've just bought a brush connected to a small water bottle. You connect it to your bag, squeeze it and the water sprays on the club face and it's clean as a whistle in 3 seconds. I still bring them in to wash the grips every few rounds though. I also clean all the balls I've found at the same time lol

[@AlexElliottGolf]

How do you find They way last? Do they stay new for longer?? What brush do you use?

[@naashuman5503]

I've been doing this since I started buying detail equipment for my cars years ago.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Lovely nothing better than a clean car 😂😂

[@barrymuller5131]

There is a towel and also a ball cleaner out there that you can wet on one side and the other side stays dry. There must be a plastic sheet in between layers of towel. It has a frog logo on it. I have the ball cleaner which has an inner surface protected from air that stays wet for most of the round. Wetting the end of your towel as you do will not stay wet very long. You’d probably have to wet again at the turn. Good video for cleaning. My hint is to have a pail of soapy water in garage and clean them when you get home. Then the water doesn’t need to be hot because the dirt would not have dried hard yet and as you clean you can return to bag. Also Winn grips should not be cleaned with water.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

very interesting that! good to know

[@wesleyfontaine3438]

Good tips. Please do not use that method on winn dri tac grips, they will become slippery and tackey at the same time and take days to feel normal.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Wesley that is great to share with everyone 💥💥🙌🏼

[@geepa1036]

Idea for a vid: what would it be like to hit a club with no groves? One that is perfectly smooth. You did the weighted driver a couple of weeks back.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Its a very good question! I think that is a brillant idea

[@fergusfitzgerald977]

I keep my clubs pristine cleaning them with the towel during the round and with baby wipes after game. I don't like the boiling water idea or the wire brush as one may compromise the epoxy or other scratch the metal. However wetting towel in bathroom is exactly what every golfer should do. When I arrive at Course I love to wander around looking at the golf bags and horror of horrors many are filthy before the round even begins. Happy new golfing year to all !

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I think hot water is great to just loosen of the dirt. I agree if it’s to hot you can melt the epoxy. Happy new year to you Fergus 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@MrDjfoghorn]

Hi Alex, quick question as I’ve had an issue in the past doing it with boiling water. It loosens the epoxy and I hit a few shots on the course after cleaning them and the head broke off. Are you sure boiling water is best?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hmm you may be right there good point

[@blazecan1894]

Good advice Alex. I soak a smaller towel before the round and keep it wet in a plastic bag carrying it with me on the bag. Great for cleaning the balls and clubs between holes. Thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

good idea! and you are very welcome. Hope you have had a good christmas

I'm a bit OCD.....I clean them after every shot and then with a bucket of water and brush after every round. I even clean and polish my trolley and shoes. Yes, it might be over the top but golf equipment isn't cheap and I try and look after it!!!! Good video Alex 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I have to agree with you it’s expensive and it’s only right to look after them properly. Do you have my hacks that you can hell everyone with?

@@AlexElliottGolf no, no new hacks.....you just can't beat a good old bucket of soapy water and a good brush and towel. It not only looks after your shoes,.clubs and anything else, you look and feel good and inspires confidence.

Good stuff, Alex, thanks. I wipe my irons down after each shot. When there’s a bit of dirt in the grooves, I score them with a tee. Post-round, I give the club faces a little spritz with winded and towel dry. On my grips, I’ll use an old, soft bristle toothbrush. There is zero chance my golf clubs are going into the kitchen, or any, sink for cleaning.
